Has anyone noticed how much petrol has gone up with diesel remaing static in a few outlets around the Leeds area petrol is now dearer than diesel and many have it at the same price.Having just come back from Germany where fuel prices have dropped since their usual easter rise and in Holland where diesel was 102 cents a litre why the increase in the UK?

To persue Dynamic Dave's argument to its logical conclusion, why bother to adjust headlights at all? Why not just look away if they are shining in your eyes? Why bother with having any laws at all, just look away?
A little bit of consideration is all I ask.

It's probably not helping matters - our local purveyor of Silicone added petrol is now 1 or 2 pence dearer than the competition a couple of miles away.
Time was when they'd be cheapest.
Very little helps.
